13/ Set the password and press Enter.

> Enter the port (1025-65536) to access the web-based Dashboard (default 8080): Enter
>This allows p2p communication between nodes. Enter the first port (1025-65536) for p2p communication (default 9001): Enter

14/ >Enter the second port (1025-65536) for p2p communication (default 10001): Enter
